> 3 dayGot discount buying open box. The product however was delivers not in a box but in a plastic bag that was thrown on my porch. Two hours spent straitened the bent fins tack and the heat pipes don’t seem to leak. Parts missing and had to use intel mounting hardware attach the clamp. Thought about retuning it but my opinion of corporate attitudes was born out in the recent gamers nexus/new egg fiasco. Good night and good luck.

> 3 dayI was impressed with how high quality this heatsink was and the attention to detail in the packaging. Noctua thinks of everything and includes it in the box. Install was painless with great instructions and operation is extremely quiet.

Greater than one weekMy previous cooling was water and it was very noisy. After I saw this on youtube and got it I gotta say it is a much better option. Not only quiet but lower temps as well.

> 3 daySe nota cuando lo que compras es de calidad y en este caso no iba a ser menos, Noctua es conocida por la calidad de sus productos y este es uno de sus buques insignia, no me voy a perder en datos técnicos porque tampoco soy un especialista en hardware, solo te diré que como usuario estoy encantado con el rendimiento que tiene y el silencio con el cual funciona, no hay más, calidad, refrigeración y silencio.. eso si, procura tener una torre con una amplitud generosa ya que el disipador se eleva bastante y no todas las cajas le podrán dar cabida!

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibilityStanding 158mm tall, the NH-U12S is short enough to fit most modern mid- or high-end tower cases. Measuring 125mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the cooler stays clear of the top PCIe slot on standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring optimum compatibility with multi-GPU setups. |
100% RAM compatibilityThanks to its slim design with only 45mm fin depth, the NH-U12S will not overhang the RAM slots even with two fans installed. This gives the user full access to the memory modules on all current CPU sockets and ensures 100% compatibility with tall heatspreaders or optional memory fans. |
